NOTICES
1. This document discloses subject matter in which ACR Electronics, Inc. has proprietary rights.
Neither receipt nor possession thereof confers or transfers any right to reproduce or disclose the
document, any part thereof, any information therein, or any physical article or device, or practice
any method or process except by written permission from or written agreement with ACR
Electronics, Inc.
2. The interfaces 453-0032 or 453-0041 are only available in a pack list configuration 455-0032 and
455-0041 respectively.
3. The interface system does not function with any of the Artex remote switches, and can only
operate with the single toggle switch 140-3349 provided in the pack list 455-0049.
4. Due to the large array of configurations possible, ACR Electronics, Inc. does not provide a
harness as part of the installation of the ELT or the interface system.
5. The toggle switch 140-3349 is not available with a protective guard.
6. The interfaces 453-0032 and 453-0041 function with all Artex Emergency Locator Transmitters,
other than the ELT-200 series.
7. The mating connector and contacts connecting to the ELT are found in the install kit included in
the pack list at the time the beacon is purchased. Accordingly, the hardware included in the 4550032 and 455-0041 is only used to connect each interface together.
8. The toggle switch 140-3349 is not grounded to the ELT, so the system works for metallic and
composite aircrafts when the beacon and the toggle are installed far apart.
9. Follow standard aircraft wiring practices.
10. This manual is subject to regular updates and changes.
The information within this document and any attached materials is proprietary and confidential
and is not to be disseminated, distributed, or otherwise conveyed throughout your organization to

1. INTRODUCTION
This manual contains detailed information about the installation and operation of the interfaces
453-0032 and 453-0041 with any Artex Emergency Locator Transmitters. The interfaces do not
function with the ELT-200 series.
The intent of the interface system is to provide a cost effective means to our customers to retrofit
existing ELT installations using 2-wire connection between the ELT and a toggle switch.
This manual is not intended to be an installation for the ELT system. Use this manual in
conjunction with any Artex ELT manuals.
2. PARTS LIST
The following parts should be included with the 455-0032, 455-0041, and 455-0049 Pack Lists.
